Episode #245 — New Mental Health Study from MusiCares & Amber Health

The music industry’s high-stress and ever-changing nature often leads to the development or exacerbation of mental health issues for artists & professionals alike. Particularly since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, music & research organizations have looked to study the effects being in this industry has on its workforce and develop resources to best support their needs. A new study from MusiCares and Amber Health seeks to look beyond the need for mental health resources and instead analyze how access to these resources impacts those who receive them. In our latest podcast, we talk with Amber Health’s Dr. Chayim Newman and MusiCares’ Theresa Wolters about how both organizations support the music industry ecosystem, the need for robust mental health resources for music professionals, and the groundwork for this new research initiative!
